Story
Cowgirl just turned 2 in July and we have had her for 2 years this month. Both of her parents were trained service dogs and she is very smart and curious. She is super sweet and very playful. She loves to cuddle but does get sad when she hasn't had the ability to get her energy out. She absolutely loves to play and loves kids and other dogs. We love her dearly, but we are just not the home she needs. She needs a home where she can be free to run and keep both her mind and body active. She loves being outside and would most likely thrive in an environment where she is outdoors a lot.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application HENRY IS LOCATED IN KING OF PRUSSIA, PA. Introducing: Henry! He is an approximately 2 year old American Bully boy weighing 65 pounds. Henry was rescued by police from a serious neglect situation in Ohio. In spite of that, he is a HUGE sweetheart who loves every person he meets. Likes: Hanging out with you while you work, car rides, cuddling, doggie food and treats, being petted, and meeting new people. Dislikes: Being left out of social activities, and hot weather.  He's looking forward to the fall season. Personality: Henry has a relaxed, go with the flow personality. Temperament: Chill, he just wants a comfy place to hang out. Energy level: Low. He does not require very much in terms of exercise. Favorite activities: Laying down with a human companion, eating from treat toys such as lick mats and Kongs, and sleeping. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?:  Henry has a very low prey drive, so while he has not been tested with cats they would likely not be an issue for him. He has good dog social skills and has been polite with introductions, even when the other dog is not polite! He does not seem very interested in playing with other dogs. He loves everyone so he should be great with kids. Not good with: Hot weather due to his short muzzle. Housetrained: Yes, although he has not been left out of the crate unsupervised for any long period. He does not soil his crate. Crate trained: Yes. He will cry if you’re around and he can hear you though. He does not like being left out of social situations. He does great overnight in the crate and sleeps well with a dog bed in there. Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?  No. Walks well on a leash? Yes, he is low key and stays near you. Challenges: Keeping his wrinkly ears and paws clean. No behavior challenges to note. Any Medical issues? Henry came to MTM with severe skin yeast and bacterial infections due to the neglect situation.  He is recovering with medication and proper hygiene. He has some spots missing fur, but it is growing back. His paw pads are unusually deep and therefore hard to keep clean. While walking outside his paws get debris stuck in them. His toe jam needs to be cleaned out regularly or they grow yeast. His ears are currently being treated for yeast as well; it is unclear if this will be an ongoing issue or if it is due to previous neglect. What would be the best kind of home? Henry would fit in well almost anywhere. He is not an active guy, so he will not make a good hiking buddy. He is not interested in dog toys and only plays in short bursts. Any home with humans who want to cuddle his mush face is a good fit : )   Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

Story
Food: Stella and Chewy's Red Meat Recipe - No Grains or Legumes Hello there! My name is Roxy. I have tons of spunk and even more attitude. I love to chew on plushy toys, jumping, checking everything out...I am full of puppy energy. I LOVE to use my teeth when I play with toys, hoomans, and other doggos. Some dogs do not appreciate my "in-your-face" energy. My foster sister tolerates me and even plays sometimes, but foster mom has to tell me to stop sometimes. With my anxiety, new environments stress me out, so I pace, drool, and pant. I will need patience. Quirks: I have displayed fear aggression on several occasions toward hoomans. I have not bit anyone. I just want my space because I am scared. I will require a solid decompression plan to help me adjust to my new home.

Story
Dogs: Good with submissive/calm female and male. Food: Royal Canin GI and or Human grade cooked or raw Unique Medical or medication needed: Indigo was brought in with rectal prolapse. Which was fixed with coloplexy and a vascular necrosis left femoral head, FHO surgery was done. X-rays recently performed showed no spinal abnormalities, however suspect of a nerve disorder that doesn't allow her to have full feeling of her back feet and unable to completely empty her bowels at one time. Which means she has frequent small bowel movements. Medications: She gets fish oil on her food, fiber powder and probiotics. All of this contributes to solid stool. My ideal forever home based on personality: Hello world I'm Indy. I'm a sweet sassy happy girl with a ton of love to give. I was adopted out once. My mommy called me her sunshine, however my dad was OCD over my poop. I was born into this world with a few genetic issues, however I know no different. Which means my frequent poop, my femoral head being removed and my many bowel prolapse surgeries have led me to be extra special my fomama says. I'm such a beautiful little girl standing at only 8'' tall. I need that special someone to continue to work on my diet. To make me the best that I can be. I am a very happy loving pup that loves all the thing puppies do. I enjoy short walks, car rides, socializing with all the peeps and getting a ton of attention due to my beautiful tiny stature. I like to run and play, all treats are my favorite. I just want my humans to love, pet and adore me, all which are very deserved. If you want to know more about my cute little self please fill out the application and me and fomama will pay you a visit. Lots of love and kisses Indy.

Story
 Brandi is a sweet American Bulldog mix girl, about 2 years old, with lots of love to give. She is learning commands, sit, wait and doing well with her crate training. She was saved from the Medina County Pound and is a medium size dog. She will have all her shots and be spayed when she is adopted. Spay date is in October but won't be long. Her foster mom is working with her. She said her grandchildren visited and she was great with them but would recommend school age children in a home of any adopter. We don't know what this girl's history is, but we do know that she is responding well to TLC and should be a valuable addition to any family. The foster mom says she is a dog who wants to be the "top dog". She cuddles and loves attention and wants other dogs to be submissive. She would do better as an only dog. She would be your best friend. She loves to ride in the car and can be a great travel companion.  To adopt her please do our non-obligatory application at www.pawsandprayers.org. Her adoption fee is $250. Any questions, email marty@pawsandprayers.org .September 25, 2023, 10:08 am
